C64x Unboxing videos

I don't think I got the whole point of this post and all the reactions about it.
Why the Amiga community hates Commodore USA?
They're just a HW supplier that were able to build a nice c64 replica x86 case. What's really wrong with that?
Are they using the commodore name illegally? (I really don't know. I'm really asking.)

The Amiga scene, while interestingly active, it's kind of a confusing nowadays:
1) retro guys using the original hw and SW (like many other retro scenes)
2) AOS 4 - new software but they insist that it must only run on exotic hardware, otherwise it is not amiga
3) MorphOS - new software and they're more open to existent HW but constantly being criticized because the HW is too old and/or because it's an apple, not an Amiga.
4) AROS - run on (certain) x86 HW, so, you can try to get those UGLY standard PC cases, add NEON and several FANS to it (to get even uglier) and create an AROS box.
5) Natami - (can't tell too much about this option)

and then you have these guys.
Why they can't recreate the A1200 case, with a full functional "mac compatible" keyboard attached and a kit for disassembling a g4 mini and putting it inside of it?
A MorphOS G4 silent A1200 would be REAAALLLLYY cool.

I couldn't care less about who they are and what they did.
I think the HW looks great. With the right SW on it, it could be better.
They should invest on a fully customized LINUX distro with C64 Look&Feel along with a c64 emulator somehow integrated with linux. Maybe double clicking .d64's and running those in full screen.

And if you want a C64 case, you can DIY for far less than the cost of their overpriced Franklin Mint crap.

I don't, but, the Business of selling retro cases prepared to hold modern parts sounds much more interesting.
I highly doubt that I could DImyself a case replica. Specially the keyboard part.

And best of all it gives you two "Atari" style digital joystick ports (justl like a real C64) which you don't get with a C64x.

Nice bit of kit.  I have the 8 bit and 16 bit ones and they work.

Please, only use these on "dead" Commodore machines with good keyboards.  Don't trash a good one.  

OMG! that's really amazing. How it works with special keys like page up/down, home, print screen, windows keys and etc?
It would be really nice to use a trashed A1200 with it.
